Helpful and. Interesting

Very informational and it helps to know and understand the beautiful message. And all around good life teachings.

Constant ad pop up

The content seemed ok..I only got to read one page, when I clicked on any other link an ad would pop up for discounted travel. It was unavoidable so I deleted the app within 5 mins of downloading

False advertisement

It’s not the info I don’t like it’s the fact it’s listed as free when clearly if you have to pay to learn anything above something you could just google

Paying for a Buddhist app?

It makes me worry when I see charges for a Buddhist app that possibly there is mostly copy and paste information that can be easily found online. I don’t know if this is just taking advantage of advertising for hotels maybe?

Paid app

To download the app is free but you can not use it unless you pay for it.

pointless

have to pay to use literally any of the app

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry you have had a bad experience with the app. We are trying to improve it in a daily basis. As you may know there are many revenue models within the apps and we have decided to use the freemium model (free to download with locked content). We have never implied anything other than that. Even if you look at the app store page, it says that the app contains In App Purchases and it shows a price for each one of them.

Do Not Waste Your Time

In the free version you only get the introduction and life of Buddha both of which contain general information you could find ANYWHERE. Doing a quick google search will save you time and a headache. On top of that while you are trying to read in the app, a prompt will pop up automatically multiple times to ask you to pay for the full version. It’s just as annoying as an actual ad and makes it almost impossible to read what little information that is available in the free version.

Wants u to upgrade before content

I downloaded this App with great anticipation and then great disappointment. Click on any subject and it immediately wants you to upgrade and pay. So this is real Buddhist suffering. No access to content, only an upgrade.

Pay for Full

I opened the app and within 10 seconds it asked me to buy the full version. I read the introduction page, then followed with a second “article” but couldn’t read it because I need the full version. Needless to say, for an app about buddhism, materialism is strong with it. Asking for money like that without giving me a chance to explore. Better off just practicing online for free, or buying a book with more information, more guidance, and no catches.

Response from developer

Thank you very much and we are sorry the hear that. It is only 1 payment to unlock the content. The reason behind this is for travelers to be able to enjoy everything in an offline mode without paying for roaming charges while they travel. Even being able to use geolocalization capabilities such as GPS or Augmented Reality without being connected to your cell phone provider. We hope you understand and if you have any other question, please do not hesitate to get back to us. Thank you.

Change the Price from free to $2.99

Apps take a lot of time and resources to create so we understand having to pay a little fee, however, do not mislead us into thinking that we are actually getting something by downloading the app for free.

I am happy to have all of this information in one place it is a nice resource.

Response from developer

Thank you very much. We are very happy that you enjoyed the app.
